At the moment only the 'any' allows for its namespace to be defined.
This is a real pain in the neck when you can name the element (or
attribute) but you need to define it as existing in a different
namespace.
Adding the 'any' namespace declaration to 'element' and 'attribute'
would
go a long way to enabling full cross-namespace validation.
